'm is a shaft journaled in the bearings Z.

0 is a sprocket-wheel secured onthe shaft h, and p is a sprocket-wheel secured on the shaft m and connected to the sprocket-wheel 0 by the chain belt q, forming the means for driving the shaft m.

r is a bevel gear-wheelmounted on the shaft m adjacent to the cutting end of the machine,

and s is a bevel gear-wheel mounted at the end of the shaft t, 'ournaled in the bearings u in the frame of t e machine and meshing with the bevel gear-wheel r, by which it is driven and the shaft trotated.

v 'is a sprocket-wheel mounted on the shaft t, and w is a pulley mounted on'the said shaft t. :1: is a shaft'extendingl across the frame of ing end thereof and journaled in the bearings y, supported on the top beams.

z is a sprocket-wheel mounted on the shaft :n,and 2 is a chain belt connecting the sprocketwheel 1) and the said sprocket-wheel 2 and completing the connection between the main drivmg-shaft h and the shafts wand 25.

3 is a lar e wheel mounted on the shaft 1; and keyed thereto and having a rim 4' with an 5 represents ins fixedly secured in the spokes 6 of sai wheel and extending outwardly beyond the rim at each side thereof.

7 represents rings slightly larger in diameter than the wheel 3, soas to fit over the rim 4, and having their inner surface concave and corresponding in curve to the arc-shaped periphery of the rim and having the inwar ly-extending lugs 8, in which are. the

ICC

holes 9. The rings 7 are mounted on the rim of the wheel 3, the pins extending at each side through the lugs 8. The rings 7 have the annular flanges 10, and in fitting the said rings onto the wheel these flanges do notm'eet, but leave a clear space therebetween completely around the wheel, the rimv 'bernamely, four pairs diametrically arcontact with the wheel 3.

ranged in airs and adjusted to leave a wider space, in t e passage between the flanges 10 on one side of the wheel than on the otherand at the widest point betweeh the flanges a rotating wedge 14 is provided to keep the said flanges apart at that point, no matter what the position of said'wheel, the rotating wedge 14 bein mounted on a shaft 15 and turning freely t ereon. The shaft 15 extends across the frame of the machine and. is supported between the adjustable blocks 16, introduced' in the slots 17 in-the frame of the machine. The position of the blocks 16 is controlled by the threaded pins 18, turning in threaded orifices in the plates covering the slots. It will be thus seen that the wheel 3 is rotated by the chain-belt connection with the shaft -t and in turning the said wheel 3 carries the rings 7. The said rings are always kept the same distance apart where the wedge-14 rotates between them, and diametrically opposite thereto will be the narrowest point in the passage between the flanges '10. The wedge 14 is rotated between said flanges by 19 is a casing supported by the standards 20 from the frame a above the table I; and above the wheel 3.

21 is a hopper-extending out from within the casing at one end of the same.

22 is a roller journaled in the bearings 23 in the side of the casing toward the lower edge thereof. 24 is a roller journaled in bearings 25 toward the other end of the casing and slightly higher up in the sides.

26 is a belt the fullwidth of the rollers and extending therearound and having a multiplicity of small picks 27 projecting from the outer surface thereof, arran ed in rows longitudinally with the belt and ving a slight inclination forward in the direction of travel.

' 28 is a spbrocket-wheel mounted on the end of-the sha of the roller 24 where it projects beyond the casing 19. v

' 29 is a sprocket-wheel on theshaft m, and 30 is a chain-belt, connecting the sprocket wheels 28 and 29, the said belt on one side passing over the ulley 31 to esca e interference with the w eel 3. The rol ers 22 and 24 are thus operated by the. chain-belt con nection with the shaft m.

32 is a roller journaled in the bearings 33 in proximity to the top of the sides of the cas- I ing 19.

34 is a roller journaled above the roller 24 in the bearings 35 in the sides of the casing. The bearings 35 are slightly lower down in the sides than the bearings 33.

36 is a belt extending around the rollers 32 and 34 and having a multiplicity of small picks 37 projectin from the outer surface thereof and incline slightly backward from the direction of travel.

38 is a sprocket-wheel on the shaft of the pulley 24 where it extends beyond the casing 19. Y c 39 is a s rocket-wheel on the shaft-of the roller 32 w ere it extends beyond the casing '19, and 40 is a chain belt connecting the sprockets 38 and 39 and insuring the rotation of the rollers 24 and 32in the same direction, and thus causing the belts facing one another to travel in opposite directions. It may be here explained that the sides of the casing have the separable pieces 41 hinged at 42 to the permanent portions of the sides, and in these separable pieces the bearings 35 are located. The pieces 41 have extending lugs 43, through which extend the threaded bolts 44, reaching into the threaded orifices 45 in the permanent portion of the casing. It isthus possible to raise the bearings 35 and increase the distance between the belts 26 and y 36 where the said belts surround the rollers 24 and 34.

46 is a roller journaled in the bearings 47 in the sides of the casing and having a multiplicity of picks 48 intermeshing with the picks 27 as t ey pass over the roller 24.

49 is a hopper immediately under the rollers 24 and 46 and emptying into the passage between the flanges 10 where the said passage forms the 'deway 50 for'the tobacco car ried over t e belt 26 and gathered by the roller 46 and delivered through the hopper 49. The roller 46 is rotated by the belt connection 51, extending around the pulleys 52 and 53, mounted on the .roller and main shafts, respectively.

54 is an arm pivoted at 55in the frame and supported by the adjusting-screw 56, inserted through the bracket 57 and said arm. The arm 54 has at the end thereof the hearing 58, on which the wheel 59 freely turns. The rim of-the wheel 59 extends lnto the guideway 50 in proximity to the periphery of the rim 4. V

60 is the enveloping tube, and 61 is the bridge from the guideway 50 to the enveloping tube. The said enveloping tube is opened out at 62 at 63 is partially closed in, at 64 one edge :thereof projects u wardly, and at 65 the passage is complete y closed in regular tube form.

66- is a ribbon belt, preferably of textile material, extending around the pulley 'w on the shaft t along the enveloping tube 60 and over and against the rollers 67, 68, and 69. The rollers 68 and 69 are journaled at the extremity of the arms 70 and 71, respectively, which are adjustably secured to the vertical beam (1 and extend therefrom to engage the ribbon belt 66 with their rollers 68 and 69 on different sides and have the effect of taking up the slack of said belt;

72 is a roller journaled in the bearing 73 in a lower extension of the vertical beam e and carryin a roll of cigarette-paper 74 in ribbon form. uring the operation of. the machine this ribbon of aper extends from the roller around the pu ey 75, journaled suitable brackets from the frame of the machine, and over the roller 76. Tue roller 77 on the pivoted arm 78 engages said ribbon of paper intermediately between the roller 76 and the roller 75. This ivoted arm on the momentary stoppage o the feed of paper will give slightly, and thus prevent any breakage of the paper. The ribbon of paper continues on and enters the enveloping tube between the bridge 61 and the en edge of said tube over the ribbon belt 66. The friction of the aper on the ribbon belt carries the former iorward and it asses along the enveloping tube 60 and is olded as it continues therealong to the partially-closed portion and in passing leaves one edge protruding upwardly at 64 in said passage, and at the paper is completely closed in on the tobacco, which it must contain on passing throu h. I

79 is a tube havin the bel -mouth.80-in direct line with the d1scharge end of the enveloping passage 60. The tube 79 extends from and through. a bracket 81, projecting upwardly from a sliding portion 82 ofthe table.

' 83 is a tube extendmg from and through the bracket 84in sald' ortion of the table in direct alinement with t e tube 79.

85 is a circular knife mounted at the end of the spindle 86, journaled in swinging bracketarms 87.

88 is a spiral s ring encircling the spindle between the kni e and the bracket for the pur ose of allowing the spindlea limited latera movement in its bearings.

89 is a pulley mounted on the spindle 86 at,

i the other end. The brackets 87 extend from the shaft m and hold the knife in position directly over the space between the brackets 81 and 84. 1

90 is a spring caught at one end to a pin 91,

projecting from the frame,'and at the other end to the brackets 87 and is for the ptultipose of preventing the knife from being li too high.

. 92 is a belt connecting the pulley 93 on the shaft m to the pulley 89 on t e spindle 86.

. 94 is an eccentric mounted on the shaft 71.. 95 is the strap encirclin said eccentric.

96 isa connecting-r0 fromthe lever 97 to ,the cord 99, which passes over the pulley 100 and is caught at the other end to the s ring 101, this spring bein attached to thee ding portion 82 of the tabfia to return the said portion of the table to the first position for the shearing.

102 is a cam on the main shaft, which engages the roller 103, journaled at the end of the arm 104, which arm is pivoted intermediately of its length at 105 on the frame of the machine and at its other end pivotally and ad 'ustably secured to a rod 106. The said I0 106 issecured at its upper end to the brackets 87', which bracket-arms will both move on any movement of the rod 106 and lift the knife in readiness for its descent on the length of roll passing through the'tubes. The lever 97 extends be ond the point where the cord 99 is attache thereto and, preferthe extremity. ably has a pro'ection 107 on its upper side at 109 isa se -inking stamp of an ordinary pattern, having therplad 121 and the reversing type-plate 122. e reversing type-plate 122 is normally held to the pad by the spring 123 pressing downwardly against the handle 124,.and the said handle is connected to said type-plate. The handle124 is engagedat intervals by the projection 107 and forced upwardly and,asthrough the frame of the stamp, the said handle is connected to the type-plate, said type-plate is pushed from the pad upwardly, and is inverted in its passage upwardlfy bythe cam movement usual inthis class 0 stamp. The type thus stamps the paper in passage against the plane surface on a projecting bracket 110, and on release of the engagement of the projection 107 with the handle 124 of the stamp the spring in the said handle returns the type-plate to the pad, as customary.

111 is a paste-pot of any suitable design, herein shown as having an adjustable inner cover 112, springheld a ainst the paste and moved up or down by t e threaded spindle 113, projecting upwardly from said inner cover to the outer cover 1 14. i The said pastepot 111 has an outlet at 115, which leads through the shield 116, in which the outer portion of the disk 117 turns. The disk 117 bracket 118 on the table b above the enveloping tube 60.

' 119 is a pulley mounted on said spindle and having belt connection with the pulley .120 on the main shaft h.

turns with the spindle, journaled in the abuts the. ribbon of paper where it projects upwardly in the envelopin tube at 64, and thus applies paste constant y to the said ribbon of paper as it passes through, and as the said ribbon of paper passes on the paper, as before explained, closes in and is made to closely adhere to the other side of the paper, where the enveloping tube closes in at 65.

Having described the various parts in detail, I shall now more particularly explain the operation thereof. The tobacco is fed in uantities to the hopper 21, and drops onto t e belt 26. On setting the machine in motion the picks 27 carry the tobacco from the hopper forward, and on the said tobacco reaching the space between the rollers 24 and 34 the picks 37 on the belt 36, which are pointing in the reverse direction'from the travel of the belt 36, have the effect of draging on the tobacco carried by the belt 26 and evening the surface down, and thus regulating the quantity. The feed thus regulated, the tobacco begins to pass around the roller 24, but is gathered therefrom by the roller 46, which is rotating in the opposite. direction. The tobacco is thus emptied into the hopper 49 and from the said hopper passes out to the guideway 50. The wheel 3, as before explained, is constantly rotating, and the uideway at this point at all times is exactly the same width. Therefore the tobacco is pressed into cigarette form by passing under the wheel 59 in the said guideway for its passage along the enveloping tube. The tobacco in its pressed state is guided by the bridge 61 on and into the enveloping tube 60. V The paper being fed from the roll is also on its way to the enveloping tube and from friction with the textile ribbon belt is carried along. It will be thus seen that the ribbon belt carries the paper along with it, and the string of tobacco is carried therealong with said paper into the closed portion of the enveloping tube. The tobacco. in the paper now has reached the portion 64 of the tube and is quite enveloped on one side by the paper, while the other side of the paper projects upwardly and receives its quantum of paste. As soon as the paper receives its paste it passes into the closed portion 65, where it must fold over the side of the cigarette which has already been enveloped and made to adhere to the other side, and thus form the perfect cigarette. The cigarette now is in a long string, and as it reaches the pulley w it continues in a straight line over the edge thereof into the tube 79 and on through the tube 83; but in the meantime the other parts of the machine are operating, and the shearing mechanism acts as the cigarette crosses between the brackets 81 and 84. The earn 102 is formed to operate the knife twice for every complete revolution of the saidcam with its shaft, and as the lmife is revolving very rapidly the string of cigarette is cut, and

in cutting, in order that the action of cutting will not affect the continuous .feed of the machine, the knife moves slightly with the travel until released and in its upper position.

The stamping or printing of the paper will be readily understood from the description in detail as the paper merely passes over a small table formed from a bracket from the cross-beam, and the plunger of the stamp is forced'upwardly and prints across the paperwhatever may he desired, and the spring will return the said plunger ready for the next operation. In the stamping or' printing of the paper the parts operating the stam are dcsigned with a view of causing the p unger of said stamp to be engaged once for every two operations of the knife shearing the length of cigarette passing through. The reason for this maybe explained that the stamp makes an impression on the paper which will answer for two cigarettes, as the shearing takes place in the middle of the said impression, or substantially so.
